Poor Ubi. This is pathetic, like a thief breaking into a poor person's car. Most hackers would get in there, see there's nothing worth stealing, and feel so bad they leave a good game or two.

I mean....does anyone care? Ubisoft's output has been the video game equivelant of gruel.

"Wow! They're making a new Assassin's Creed!"
"Oh no way! A new Far Cry!?"

Maybe someone can fix the games now.

Hackers first reaction ^

If it has the source for games going back to the 90s then it's actually fucking huge.

serves them right.. Only hipster scripters use crap like Mongodb

People should care because there's a none zero chance sensitive player data was also taken. Also, between Avatar and Star Wars, there's likely a lot of information on the licensing agreements between Ubisoft and Disney that those companies would rather remain private.

 

[Billbofet]

Feel bad for the hackers

 

[Fake]

At least they won the war, but at a cost.

 

[Plague Doctor]

there's a watchdogs joke here and shit security that requires a cell phone, a drone, and parkor to hack Ubisoft.

 

[Gripsx]

Can I get that damn Splinter Cell Remake game first?

 

[Fbh]

Ubisoft is reportedly asking for $5 million from the hackers to take back the stolen data

 

[paolo11]

I think it's time for Ubisoft to remove DRM for their PC games

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

They shouldn't be worried because no one gives a fuck about Ubisoft leaks

 

[vodka-bull]

So I wonder which innovative new ideas they stole, after 369 iterations of basically the same game.

 

[YCoCg]

Hell if it is the sources then DRM free executables can be made and passed around instead, he'll even Linux ports or something if people want to.

"Good job" hackers, nobody cares...

Ironic. Watchdogs would be proud.

You get my point. Their will be no surprises.

 

[Gubaldo]

when hackers open ubisoft vault

 

[Aenima]

But did the hacker bought the DLC? Otherwise they just stole 60% of the data.

 

[Sand Dan Glokta]

This is the most excited I've been regarding anything related to Ubisoft since Far Cry 5. Lets see those juicy leaks!

 

[baphomet]

Maybe we'll see that original version of Zombi U, that cancelled Splinter Cell, the PoP that's been in dev hell, and Beyond Good and Evil 2.

 

[Kerotan]

Disney FURIOUS right now after licensing for the outlaws flop

 

[Itchy Tickles]

Damn, its a good thing they couldn't actually be victims of theft as according to Ubisoft, not only do we not own our purchases, but we should get used to not owning them, so fair enough, silver linings and all that.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

So this is a codebase, not necessarily other things most people are expecting when they see this headline.

 

[kpopSuperstar]

I don't get how hackers get away with this, don't they have a security team that checks for vulnerabilities like this?

 

[MayauMiao]

Oh I love to see leak image of Ass Creed Shadows where Yasuke was originally a Japanese male.

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

 

[Sephimoth]

 

[Jesb]

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Maybe the hackers will release the unfinished Sands of Time remake that has been promised for like 6 years now or something

 

[Gamer King]

If it has sales data would be interesting.

 

[poppabk]

Mongodb?

 

[newtypepilot]

Press X to hack ubisoft

 

[Pejo]

How I sleep knowing I never purchased anything on Uplay.

 

[Kilau]

Related?

 

[ZehDon]

Hopefully the private customer data isn't leaked or sold. That shit can hurt people for decades.

As for Ubisoft itself, I don't have much sympathy. They'll run what's left of their IT team into the ground in the next few days to come up with some kind of resolution, and then fire them once they've fulfilled their legal disclosure obligations.

 

[sertopico]

I'll buy all the data for Tencent(s)!

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

How much personal data will get leaked. I'm sure its not all "game development data" that was stolen.

Considering how many people they compelled to sign up for their launcher just to play their purchased games - it would be a tremendous breach of trust if their customer data was compromised. Unsurprising, as well, considering Ubisoft has been a mess for quite some time now. I do hope that isn't the case, though, for the sake of their customers. Couldn't care less about Ubi in this scenario, however. Like you, I don't have much sympathy.
